Why McCarthy Tétrault?

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Without the right guidance, at the right time, a fintech business may find itself facing unanticipated hurdles, such as regulatory challenges, compliance issues, privacy complaints or IP deficiencies, which may impair the value of the business or underlying technology. Our foresight and experienced guidance allows you to anticipate and proactively address any legal issues before they become problems.

Just as valuable as our legal expertise in all aspects of fintech is our knowledge of, and relationships with, financial institutions, government, regulators, innovators and financiers. We bring the benefit of these connections to bear for our clients to help forge connections, clear hurdles and contribute to the advancement of the Canadian fintech ecosystem.
